REVERSE-ENGINEERING ROSWELL UFO TECHNOLOGY
HOW COULD AT&T HAVE CREATED THE TRANSISTOR SO QUICKLY
IN 1947 WITHOUT THE INPUT OF ALIEN TECHNOLOGY? (page1)
Lecture given by Jack Shulman, President of the American Computer
Company, at the Global Sciences Congress.
Hi, I'm Jack Shulman. I'm the head of the American Computer Company.
American Computer Company is part of the Technology
International Group and Bell North America group of companies. I'm also
one of the owners of the group of companies. I've been in
the computer industry for about 28 or 29 years. I've worked for IBM as a
professional services management consultant. I worked on
the development of the personal computer in 1978 for FIT (Fashion
Institute of Technology) and Simplicity Patterns, later adopted
by IBM. I developed something called the "pattern creator". That's where
we got the term "PC". Prior to that, I'd developed what
you might call the first windowing operating system in 1975 for
Citibank, and before that there were earlier versions I did for a
company called Vydec. I'm a serious computer person - very, very serious
- and also someone who's not generally inclined to leap
to great predispositions about any unusual subject.
Well, as it turns out, a few years ago I got my dose of reality. It was
in the form of a visit from a friend of mine. When I was
very young I'd got involved in technology, partly by virtue of the
influence of a friend's father. I grew up in central New
Jersey, which is around where AT&T and Bell Labs originated, and my
friend's father was the head of Bell Labs. I ended up at a
private school and ended up living at the household of the head of Bell
Labs, going to that private school and going to college
with his son as a roommate, and I kind of grew up around the various
projects at Bell Laboratories in the late 1960s and early
1970s.
I'd always held out that AT&T was this rather magnificent institution.
Anybody here worked for AT&T in the past? So, you know when
I say Bell Labs research, I'm speaking Holy Grail; and in certain parts
of the defence community and in government I'm also
speaking Holy Grail. Anyone here realise that AT&T and Bell Laboratories
ran our nuclear arsenal for 45 years? Anybody who knows
that, raise your hand. Not a one of you. I didn't really even know until
a little bit later in my career, but I knew something
strange was going on because it always seemed to me that AT&T always had
what it needed to make innovations in technology, and
subsequently such technology would migrate to an IBM or a Sarnoff
Research or to an RCA.
And I could never really figure out, in the course of my young life, who
were these magnificent, incredible scientists, other than
that I frequently met them...like a fellow by the name of William
Shockley. He was quite a frequent friend to Jack Morton's
household, and I knew him, and I knew some of the other folks that he
knew, like a fellow by the name of - well, I guess not too
many people would know him - Bob Noyce, and Jack Kilby who was an
acquaintance of theirs, and so forth. These names, if you've
ever worked for AT&T or in the electronics industry, are also Holy Grail
names. These are Mount Rushmores of the technology
industry. Jack Kilby is credited with the invention of the integrated
circuit.
I was rather shocked when, about late 1995, a dear friend came to me. He
was at one time one of the very well known generals in
the Pentagon, a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and is now a
consultant. I'd known him a very long time through the Morton
family and Bell and when working for IBM. He asked me to analyse some
documents that he had in his possession. He showed me some
pictures. I kind of turned up my nose. I said, "I don't believe this."
He suggested they were pictures of an alien craft. I said
to him, "Well, why do you come to me and ask me this?" "Because there
are some documents that fell into my possession that I would
also like you to see, that go beyond these drawings, these pictures,
these photographs, that describe some technology; and I would
like you to analyse this technology and make a determination for me of
the veracity of these documents, help me to authenticate
them." I said, "Fine. I don't believe this is real. I'm sceptical. I
don't believe in aliens, I don't believe in UFOs, I don't
believe in any of that." And he said, "Okay, well, I'd still want you to
take a look at them, Jack." And I agreed.
I met with him at his home. I met a woman by the name of Mrs Jeffrey
Proscauer. That's not her real name, but it's the name she
goes by; she does not want her true identity revealed. And I got a
chance to piece and look through some 28 boxes of materials
that had come from Western Electric Laboratories in the late 1940s,
1947, early 1948 and beyond, and some subsequent documents.
Now again, if you've ever worked for AT&T, you know that the
laboratories at Bell Laboratories are often quite distinct, and the
documentation from a laboratory is kept in an ongoing, growing tome
called a "Lab Shopkeeper's Notebook". It turns out that even
in the super-secret laboratories, the ones in the part of Western
Electric or Bell Laboratories that manage the nuclear arsenal,
these notebooks are kept, and they grow and they're ongoing and they
become almost like a living representation of what that
laboratory did for a living.
Well, such as it is, I was rather shocked at what I had to see there in
these boxes of materials, and I convinced them to let me
look at them over the course of about three-and-a-half weeks. They were
kept at the consultant's house during that time period,
and he actually kept a security guard with them at all times because he
was afraid that someone might come and steal them. Now of
course, I wasn't sure why he was afraid, because at the time I didn't
realise the full magnitude of what I was looking at.
In any event, after about two or three weeks of looking at them, I came
back to him and we sat down over what turned out to be a
Christmas Eve dinner, and I said to him: "I've got to tell you
something. I'm having a real problem with this because what you're
showing me looks like technology that we have not yet developed, that
humanity has not yet developed, yet the documents you're
showing me appear to be forty-eight, forty-nine years old. This would
put them in 1947, 1948, 1949."
I suggested to him that before I could proceed I would have to have
someone verify the age, carbon-date or come up with some other
means to verify the age of the documents, and he agreed. So, with the
help of a mutual acquaintance - a private investigator
formerly with the Justice Department - we were able to take fragments of
the documents without damaging them.
We sent them to an expert who formerly consulted for Scotland Yard; he's
a fairly well known forensic expert at...I believe it's
the University of Edinburgh in Scotland today; he was at a different
university at the time. He analysed these fragments of these
documents for me, and came back and told me that the ink, the paper,
even the presentations were valid; that this was in fact a
book or series of books from the 1947, '48, '49, 1950 time period. That
took him about four and a half weeks of analysis, and I
was for four and a half weeks, as you can imagine, holding my breath.
The things that I saw described in this Lab Shopkeeper's Notebook
consisted of things that today would be more powerful than the
Intel Pentium processor, for instance, or the Cray supercomputer. There
were communications devices that were described; there
were ways to sandwich-in very, very thin, micrometre-thin layers;
special metals to produce moving parts for things like...from
the descriptions that I read, the nearest thing I could describe...an
anti-gravity propulsion unit for a spacecraft. They included
dynamic electronic and power-control technology that even to this day we
have not yet developed. They included communications
technology that was described only as having been taken from an object
of unknown or unearthly origin. The documents were very
carefully worded not to reveal what was, in reality, in these boxes of
materials.
I was sort of at a loss at that juncture, because even though we had
forensic information at the time from this particular
forensic expert that would date these boxes back to the late '40s, and
even though they said "Western Electric, Bell
Laboratories", part of them said something called "Z-Division" on them.
We knew of the Z-Division: it was a segment of the United
States Army, formed in 1947 and 1948. The implications were that this
project was operating on the fringes of the nuclear bomb
development project - then known as the Manhattan Project Group.
It turns out that in 1947 - between '47 and actually late '48 - Harry
Truman decided he was going to grant a contract to AT&T to
go through the overseeing and management of our nuclear arsenal and the
commercialisation of derived product technologies from the
nuclear bomb, from the bomb project: the physics, the electronics, the
control systems, even the ballistics, the radar that was
used, the ICBM technology that was under development in the late '40s
after we got a hold of the V-series rockets from the Nazis,
and so forth. The contract was inked by Truman in early 1949, if I
recall correctly, but during the prior two-year period there
was an informal relationship, during which AT&T played a greater and
greater role in the organisation of super-secret military
weapons-grade projects for the federal government and eventually got
pretty much control of what was then known as the Z-Division.
Z-Division, believe it or not, originated in Roswell, New Mexico. I
guess the reason is, that is where the original nuclear bomb
armada was formed - the first bomber wing that carried the nuclear bomb
- and it migrated over to Kirtland Air Force Base during
the time period when Orlando Lawrence, the Lawrence Berkeley
Laboratories fellow, was called in. He was called in by Teller,
Oppenheimer...all those folks responsible for the nuclear bomb...Leo
Szwilard. Lawrence was called in at the time because he could
make accelerators, or "cyclotrons" as they were known at the time. Those
cyclotrons were capable of refining uranium, refining
plutonium...well, actually, back then, they weren't working with
plutonium but with uranium.
I guess you could imagine what it must have been like in the time
period. They were in the middle of a war when they were building
the nuclear bombs and they had to do everything secretly, so this
Z-Division was created with super-secrecy as its fundamental
core.
Ultimately Lawrence was called in because they had to build enough of an
accelerator to refine enough uranium to make the bomb
possible, and, in spite of all the greatest minds of nuclear physics
assigned to the Z-Division in the Manhattan Project, none of
them could figure out how to refine enough uranium to make the nuclear
bomb a possibility. This was before the first bomb was
exploded. So Lawrence was brought in because he knew how to make a
cyclotron; but his cyclotron, the biggest one he'd ever
created, was about the size of this white board over here, and it could
produce about a thimbleful of refined uranium - which
would have been about enough to make a nuclear bomb capable of blowing
off your left foot.
In any event, Lawrence one day is called in and he's asked: "How do we
build a cyclotron big enough?" He makes a few calculations
and hands a requisition order to Harold Ackerman - today a federal
judge, and who was the chief supply clerk for the Manhattan
Project - to requisition enough silver to build a big silver racetrack;
something like 12 million tons of silver. In fact, he took
it to the United States Treasury, handed it to the then Secretary of the
Treasury - I guess it was Morganthal - and Morganthal was
asked to fill a 12-million-ton order, which also necessitated the
relocation of Z-Division to some place where they could put all
this silver and build this racetrack.
We decided one day at American Computer Company that we were going to be
brave. I talked with my board and I talked with some of
the people at the company and they agreed. "Yeah, we can try this; let's
see what happens."
We decided that we were going to take the story that had been conveyed
to me about this unusual Shopkeeper's Notebook with these
unusual technological artifacts in them, and naively and blithely put a
panel on the Internet, describing in black and white and
colour what we had found, and raise the question. However, the picture
that we put up was a picture of Testor's model of the so-called Roswell Lander. It's a picture of what looks like a spacecraft
with wings and a jet propulsion system, with a pod in the
front to hold alien occupants who were piloting it. We superimposed the
picture over an image from the Thunder Range - of course,
we picked the wrong place; the Plains of San Agustin was the right
place, actually - and we put a little bit of rhetoric on this
panel and just placed it right in the middle of our American Computer
Company website.
Now that probably was the stupidest thing we ever did. Here's this
picture of a Roswell alien lander sitting on a panel in the
middle of a computer company website, and on it it said something like:
"Did AT&T receive stolen alien technologies from the US
Government in 1947 and thereby invent the transistor, the laser, the
integrated circuit, and...on and on and on...different
technologies?" Well, we figured the reaction we would get from the
public would be one of, "Oh gee, isn't that cute? That's funny,
X-Files, you know..." The reaction we got was not one we had
anticipated.
Three days after we placed the image onto our website, we received a
very strange series of military faxes to our tech support fax
machine, referring to a piece of hardware known as "Sky Station".
Anybody ever hear of anything called Sky Station? Never heard of
it, have you? Well, it's up there. It's an orbital platform of some
kind. We were receiving live messages from Sky Station for a
day or two and we decided this wasn't right; we were going to call the
Pentagon and tell them about it.
So I picked up the phone and first I called Fort Monmouth; then I called
down to Langley Air Force Base. They wanted to know, "Why
are you calling Langley Air Force Base?" Well, where else would I call
about a satellite that's sending messages to our fax
machine...talk about sounding strange...that say this satellite is about
to crash, it's coming down, its communications systems
are breaking down. Well, finally we got to somebody who was of
authority. It was Colonel James that we got to, and he gets on the
phone with me...I'm in my car, on my car phone...and he says: "Mr
Shulman, please secure these faxes. Do not let anyone see them.
We'll take care of it. We'll let you know what to do with the faxes."
It's like...the military goes silent.
That next day our offices were broken into. Our front door was smashed,
our glass was smashed to smithereens all over the place,
and everything was taken out of the file cabinets in our offices. My
office was a wreck when I got in there. It was awful. We came
in the next day to work and it was like: what happened, what happened?
I had these faxes in my briefcase. I'd taken them with me, home. So
apparently, by not leaving them there, I probably worsened the
situation. It might have been better if I'd left them there, to be
frank; if they'd found them and had just come and arrested us,
taken us away. They were top level, five-level clearance. We're not
supposed to even see or even know such a thing, but
inadvertently, as a result, we became aware of the fact that there's an
orbital DSP [Defense Space Platform], called Sky Station,
which is nuclear-hardened and equipped to carry nuclear weapons, because
it was described in these faxes.
It is not a very pleasant place to be, to discover that now, here we are
at the end of the Cold War with an agreement that there
will be no nuclear weapons in space in orbit, and there is apparently a
platform up there that the United States secretly put up
back in the '60s or '70s or '80s, that's equipped; it's
nuclear-hardened, it's one of the Star Wars SDI series, based on
Spacelab,
equipped to handle and carry nuclear weapons.
So now, not only did we have a picture of an alleged alien craft on our
website, talking about alien technologies being
transferred to AT&T, but we also were in possession of very high level,
Level Five, Top Secret security clearance military faxes
describing something called Sky Station.
That week we had visits from the Air Force Office of Special
Investigations. They came up and they interviewed us. They put me
through a day-long third degree. We didn't want it happening in the
middle of our customers coming in and seeing us or selling
personal computers and servers, so I took them to an out-of-the-way part
of the office, down the hall, down the elevator to a
little office downstairs, and I got a query about everything just short
of...well, it included my shoe size, when I was born,
names of parents, names of grandparents, when they entered the country,
driver's licence number. They went through a Q&A with me
and with my staff, that just came short of asking me the wrong question
- if you know what I mean.
We were very startled, naturally. We weren't certain what in fact was
going on, but we're not ones to back down at American
Computer so we decided that instead of running for cover and taking the
picture down off of our website...because we kind of
connected that the two things might have something to do with each
other...instead of backing down and turning it all off, we
would go the other direction. So we moved the picture to a separate
section of our website and created an entire website within
our website, called American Computer Company Special Investigation.
This is what happens when you grow up in New Jersey! Of
course, we couldn't have rubbed salt into a deeper wound: "Some have
claimed that alien technology was found on board a UFO
crashed in Roswell, 1947. Very dramatic. Is it true? Did the US military
discover something strange in the desert near
Albuquerque, New Mexico? Did they alter human history? Was the
transistor one of those alien marvels? Click here for the original
story."
We tried to be a little cute. We put up a picture, and if you go to our
website it's still there. If you go to our main website,
http://accpc.com, at the bottom of the page is a nav bar with a pointer
in the middle of the corporate info products, catalogue,
features, tech support, Roswell 1947, help. You can go to that link and
click on it and it'll take you to this special page which,
of course, has now grown tremendously. It has something like, we
estimate, about 9,000 messages and articles now stored within it.
We started off on one Internet server and moved it to five Internet
servers, and now we are on one of our super-servers which
consists of four groups of four Pentium XEONs and three different
service-provider carriers and a whole lot of communications just
to handle the load.
